Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Narrow-Spectrum Antibiotics’
Statement 1 – They will not kill as many of the normal microorganisms in the body as the broad-spectrum antibiotics
Statement 2 – They can act on both gram +ve and gram –ve bacteria
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect Narrow-spectrum antibiotics are active against a selected group of bacterial types. They will not kill as many of the normal microorganisms in the body as the broad-spectrum antibiotics. Because they target very specific bacteria, they don’t cause an increase in bacterial resistance and avoid the spread of drug-resistant infections. Examples include Azithromycin, Clarithromycin, Erythromycin, etc. They can act on either gram +ve or gram –ve but not both. They are used for the specific infection when the causative organism is known. Context – Scientists recently found that FP 100 (Hygromycin A), a first-in-class, small molecule, narrow-spectrum antibiotic, successfully eradicates Fusobacterium nucleatum without harming the oral or gut microbiomes.
